Th-th-that’s Entertainment

“All work and no play

makes Jack a dull boy.”

So it’s not all Cantorian Realism and Trinitarian Minimalism here at the World of Doctor Justice -- not by a long shot! Here for your reading pleasure are our pieces on popular entertainment:

Movies (see especially Take Shelter, Memento, and March of the Penguins)

Plus our own mini-movie here:

The Penitent and the Impenitent Thief

Television (particularly Dollhouse, Rubicon, and The Prisoner)

Music (e.g. Skeeter Davis, , Glenn Gould)
